There Was An Old Man Who Painted The Sky is the story of a little girl that finds cave paintings. The paintings appear to represent a creation story, depicting day and night, the creation of the planets, animals and people.

The author tells this story with a rythmic,'There Was An Old Woman Who Swalled A Fly' feel to it.

The illustrations are beautifully done and of course we simply couldn't resist a few 'cave paintings' of our own.

K was adamant that she was depicting a wintery snow scene. I encouraged her to try and add in at least some colour.

B was quite enthralled in the beginning, bu this interest fell away fairly quickly with this one. He is definitely into the whole pencil and paper thing right now.
